As the dems celebrate that only 250,000 "new" people lost their jobs last month as a sign we are moving in the right direction, this week jobless claims again increased. New filings this week were 565,000.

Although continuing claims dropped 150,000 to "only" 6.2 million people. "But" they reported that 141,000 people of the 150,000 decrease were people that ran out of benefits. So if you count all the people still unemployed but no longer getting benefits, it is estimated at aroun 7.5 million unemployed.

Why is it that the dems and Obama have their priorities all screwed up. This should be the "only" thing they are working on and should be apologizing every day that they are not doing more to help businesses grow and add jobs.
